Systems, computer-implemented methods and apparatus, including computer program apparatus, implementing techniques for rendering an image. A target area is identified in the image and a set of pixels to sample is selected from the target area to sample. An attribute value is identified for each of a plurality of the pixels in the selected set, and an attribute value is predicted for the target area based on the identified attribute value. At least a portion of the foreground area can be rendered based on the predicted attribute value. A statistical sampling analysis can be used to predict a background color when rendering a foreground area of an image.

Computer programs and computer-implemented methods implement techniques for rendering an image. A target area is identified in the image and a set of pixels to sample is selected from the target area to sample. An attribute value is identified for each of a plurality of the pixels in the selected set, and an attribute value is predicted for the target area based on the identified attribute value. At least a portion of the foreground area can be rendered based on the predicted attribute value. In preferred embodiments, a statistical sampling analysis is used to predict a background color when rendering a foreground area of an image.

A computer-implemented method of generating a glyph in which a plurality of design characteristics are extracted from a target font and a source glyph program is generated using the design characteristics. The source glyph program defines a new glyph that corresponds to a character that is not present in the target font, e.g., the Euro, and is stylistically similar to glyph of the target font. The new glyph may be added to the target font, it may be rendered on an output device, or it may be saved separately from the target font.
